Hi all .

I go throug this UDF for simulation a boiling in pipe , my questions is :

1- is this UDF general for all boiling . ( i get it from fluent tutorials )
2- if its not general , is the mass transfer source from 2 phases is same ? i mean is general ?
3-should i use the initializing flow field variables ?

Hello
It looks like you did'nt get any help. Same is the case with me. However, you may have solved the problem by yourself. I want to ask from you that do we always need a UDF for boiling. My case is simply boiling of water in pipe with heat coming from annulus pipe. Can you please explain? I did a simulation of water boiling with constant heat flux without using a UDF. Tell me if I did wrong by not using UDF ?
